Gavin Smith
82- Nose
- Old-fashioned sticking plasters, herrings in a barrel.
- Palate
- Lively, brine and limes, backed by delicate peat-reek.
- Finish
- Lengthy and increasingly salty, with cereal 'new make' notes lingering.
- Comment
- A drinkable, if relatively undemanding whisky. Perhaps a good introduction to Islay.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Hugely smoky. Jalapeno peppers, kippers, soot. Becomes fragrant and increasingly medicinal.
- Palate
- Balancing biscuity/salted crackers crispness. Burning dry leaves, smoked fish. Ointment (Savlon) in taste and texture.
- Finish
- Quite perfumed, fragrant smoke. Scallop.
- Comment
- Reekie certainly, but auld? Good fun.
